What do you think of my site?

[Musashi]

So I just set this site up 15 minutes ago.

I was going for the 'simple' look, I didn't want to overdo it.

What do you guys think?

CnC would be appreciated.

Wut Is This

Honestly? Not half bad. In fact it's really good. It's clean and simple, which I like. I immediately "got" what kind of site I was visiting. The only "negative" thing would be that it needs a little color in my opinion, it's a "fun" site, the dark color scheme is a little more suited for something more serious.

Thanks a lot.

Yeah, it's hard to find a suitable theme.

I see what you mean when you wanted a simple look, it's clean and uncluttered, I like that.

Might I suggest a short blurb at the top, or in the page title, just a brief description of what the site is meant to be? Sort of like, "Wut Is This: The Zaniest Corners of the Internet, Right Here!" But better than that, obviously. I mention this because I had to spend a few seconds trying to figure out what I'm looking at before I figured out the purpose of the site.

^ This. I like the site, but a description would be a good addition.

I dunno. I think it's pretty obvious, and is better left unsaid.

But if it's going to compete with other sites like that it'll need to refine its niche. Ie: post often, at least a few times every day, That assumes of course that this isn't just a hobby.

If he's trying to make it the next lolcats and earn $$$ it makes sense doesn't it?

 

[Element 117]

Yes, but what's wrong with trying to compete, no?

Yeah, we're trying to get at least 10 posts a day.

Wouldn't it be easier to just get a Tumblr If the intent is just to post random stuff?

Tumblr specializes in easy set up sites for people who like linking to stuff, post images/videos they've found on the web but don't want a full blown blog. Just adding a comment to each entry (or not).

Tumblr lets you effortlessly share anything. Post text, photos, quotes, links, music, and videos, from your browser, phone, desktop, email, or wherever you happen to be. You can customize everything, from colors, to your theme's HTML.

It's used all over and seems to be more in line with what you are trying to do than using WordPress.

What Amy said.

Except the lolcats.

lolcats is stupid. LOL.

The Cheezburger network has gotten quite large already and covers many of these things already:

Yes, but what's wrong with trying to compete, no?

Yes, capitalism FTW.

 

[Musashi]

You renamed it already or is that someone else's similarly themed site?

What?

I don't know what you mean.

Your site url is posted as wutisthis but it directs to bigwavenews

 

[Musashi]

Shit, haha, that's my other site D=
Thanks, I fixed it.

its slick enough, but it's one of countless sites like it. Just by glancing at the first couple of pages, it's not a site I'd frequent.
